Elder signed a new deal at King Power Stadium last summer but will move to the DW Stadium to link up with Paul Cook’s Wigan Athletic as the Latics look to win promotion to the Championship.

Elder could make his Latics debut when the 2013 FA Cup winners open their League 1 campaign away to MK Dons on Saturday afternoon.

Elder is a versatile defender, who can operate out wide or in central defence.

“I definitely want to improve as a player and I believe the gaffer can help me do that," said Elder of Wigan boss Paul Cook. "He’s worked with a lot of good full backs so I want to gain all the knowledge I can off him.”
